They are called ez outs, or a screw extractor.

Wood2Sawdust:
I would not use something that you hit with a hammer to loosen it on a wood stock

chukardogs:
I think it stands to reason that being careful is a must but striking the screw is an effective way of getting epoxy to release from the surfaces. Done it myself a few times in a few different circumstances, at least once on a rifle bedding job. Good luck!

JimmyHoffa:
What about firing a few rounds through it?  Or putting it in the freezer and then working on it?
